    Your right Taunton is quite a few miles away from Scotland!! i didn't actually find these in my local but in an "Extra" store, i have never seen them in a normal store so may possibly be specific to "Extra" stores.

    I did however find today quite a bit of the lamb marked at 2 for £6.00, but marked on the SEL as 2 for £3.00 so really pleased with my little booty- thanks OP - a nice lot of lamb in my freezer and lots of pennies back in my purse!!

    glad my post wasnt useless then!;)

    Far from useless!! my freezer thanks to you is looking very healthy - couldn't believe it when i saw the SEL, as my local are normally so hot on things.

    I did note yesterday that another customer was being given back some money at CS as he bought some stuff that gives 5p off per litre on fuel, but he had bought the stuff that was advertised previously, i think it was the Tuna and T bags, i know its now changed with the items on promotion this week to coke and something else, but my store still had the advert up outside with last weeks promo on - i think they gave him £4.00 back - if you are going to be buying these things anyway, just an idea to check around for last weeks promo advertising and to go to CS you may also get some cash back.

    thats bad enough but with £7 postage works out £1.05 a bag you would be paying,
    (saving34p on rrp not that anyone surly would bulk buy anything at mr T when it was not on offer,)

    what a fool if anyone buys them at that price

    I agree :D i'll be in stiches :cool:

    With regards to Adrenalin selling penny items on Ebay, I don't really have a problem with it.

    Lets face it, if most of us see a bargain, a penny item or a freebie through DTD we get it. Regardless of whether we need it, or want it, or will use it.

    So if What if we have been lucky enough to get a stash of items and sell them on?

    I understand that it is maybe against the spirit of the site in one sense, but it is very in the spirit of the site in another sense.

    You are all benefitting from getting the bargains, whether that is through having a cleaner toilet, a kids present or a bit of growth on the waistline, Adrenalin is not getting the benefit in that way, they are getting the benefit in their wallet.

    There are lots of people who are not in the financial position to turn down an opportunity to make a bit of extra money like this, so we should not judge them.

    It is just a bit of Upping Your Income, another key part of MSE.

    Who would you rather was selling Roses at £1 (or 50p) and making money from it, Adrenalin or Mr T?

    i'm surprised knowone else has listed anything the cant use. I think getting dtd is just the same as you making profit money out off good knowing you will get it. I wouldnt acually pay to list the items I love free listing days can have a laugh listing a load of stuff at any price.

    Adrenalin, fair play to you:TYou know you're going to get some grief for doing it but you've come back and could have easily changed your user name. I'm the first to admit that in the past with the old DTD I got lots of the eye cream and when I used it it stung like mad, so I "disposed":rotfl: of it on ebay! No one should really judge what you've done because how many have bought stuff and then sold it at boot sales? and no one would ever no:)
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:

    im very pleased for you as i got shot down almost instantly when i posted.

    "I've just got back from Tesco as wanted some lamb anyway. No £3 SEL here - it looks like some HUKDer's haven't worked out that these are so store-specific it's almost a waste of time posting them anywhere on the web. EDIT - having read the HUKD link, it appears it was an online typo. Now I know why I prefer it here!"
